foreign policy is not exactly clear here. whether coming from within the white house or coming from the state department. what they've relied on in the past, what any administration has is exceptionally close relationships military to military. once mubarak was in a lot of trouble and he was on his way out, and he was, deploying forces to quell the protesters in tahrir square. it was the military that held back, and they did that because of their tight relationship with the united states. what's difficult here is that you have the military moving forward and clearing, you know, these protesters out. so, this is the difficulty that the administration faces right now. and i think, you know, they're going to have to pursue a more definite strategy here. it's not just the united states. because you have israel as a key player here as well. the israeli military working very well in the egyptian military on issues that have to do with, you know, their border. and a very fragile peace treaty that exists between those two countries.
